Is this normal?

[FUK]

first post!, lol... anyways, i tried searching but i didn't find an answer.

is it normal for people to sell these cars without wheels?

I'm looking for a DD, I found a clean 240sx that i felt was priced right (~5k) and literally had the cash in hand to buy it when the owner goes, "oh, the wheels aren't included in the sale". The shocker was that I had to bring my own wheels... WTF?? I couldn't even buy the wheels that came with the car because they were his buddies.

Sorry for question, i guess this is more of a rant, or I just don't understand.

Thanks for reading.

When your wheels are worth more then the car itself.. you keep them.

But this is a stupid ass thread.

[!Zar!]

It happens. I've known plenty of people that sold the car sans parts.

Buy some oem wheels for $100 and go about your business.

awesome first post buddy.
these are questions you should be asking before you even leave the house to go check out a vehicle.

sorry, i tried to search... wasn't sure if it's the norm. Also, wheels didn't seem to be worth much at all.

alright, thanks for the heads up.

want to know something hilarious? he never mentioned anything about the wheels until I got back from the bank with cash in hand.

that's probably the reason for this thread... I guess the next time I look at another 240sx, I'll ask if the wheels are included.

Well in OP's defense, unless the seller stated in the article that wheels weren't to be included, he is justified in thinking they would come with the car.

That seller sounds sketchy. Not to be offensive but you don't come off as knowing alot about 240s. You should do alot of reading through the stickies on this forum before making any purchases.

You should offer him less for the car if he didn't specify those conditions in the original ad

i wanna see pics of this 5k 240!!

[Boost_Fiend]

i wanna see pics of this 5k 240!!

Haha I was thinking the same thing it better be a super fresh s13 with an sr. Or an s14.... With a sr

[slydin240sx]

i wanna see pics of this 5k 240!!

Me too! Specially at that price with no wheels... lol

[mikeys13]

with a built sr! pushing aound 400hp, and suspension done with good paint and interior!

[slydin240sx]

Does he have dyno sheets to prove the 400 hp? If not, I wouldn't hold him to it. Anyone can talk something up!

[mikeys13]

no im saying for 5k thats what it should have. not literally.

[slydin240sx]

Oh..... hahaha

[Boost_Fiend]

and a pleasure hole

[fliprayzin240sx]

He's in LA, I wouldnt be surprised if its a stock S14 with nothing on it.

[FUK]

haha, it was a 1996 240sx w/ 115k miles lowered with what looked like tein lowering springs and enkei wheels. I am really just looking for a DD

[fliprayzin240sx]

Really? I fucking paid $2500 for an 95 S14 w/ 140k with lowering springs, exhaust and stock SE wheels with brand new RT615s.

If this is gonna be your DD, I wouldnt trust buying a car from somebody who cant afford to get their own wheels. If they're too broke to get their own wheels, what other corners did they cut on the car?

[slydin240sx]

The s14 in my sig, let's see I payed $1500 for with coils, buddy club spec 2, built KA, tein rear strut bar, some suspension pieces, mishimoto radiator, ebay header, electric fan, ect ect. It didn't run at the time of purchase, but two weeks later I had it running. One very very easy no money at all involved fix. :D

Did I get a helluva a deal on it? You bet! It's ran fine for the last year I've owned it. It's needed nothing really major besides two tires, and recently a starter.

[nissan-fanatic]

I say F that and go look for another 240 for him not telling u it won't come with the wheels all late

[Boost_Fiend]

I would say that a tad bit high, especially w/o the wheels. Unless its in superb A+ mint condition, and I bet its not . You live in Cali, im sure 240's are a dime a dozen over there.
